GHScorpiosRule January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 (edited) Y'alllllll....I haven't watched Tuesday and Wednesday's shows, but I did watch today's and it was GRRREAT!!!!! I loved it. I'm thinking that Rosie said this was "The Talk" on purpose and it wasn't a gaffe. But I think the funniest part/the one that had me laughing was Rosie trying to say "AY-EGGS" v. Eggs. And then pretending she was at a diner and said "I want Bacon and AH!" Had me rolling, I will not lie. I tried to look but I couldn't see because Rosie's hair covers her ears...but does she wear an earpiece? I don't think so and she's the ONLY one who doesn't have those fucking blue cards during the interviews or hot topics I don't think. And I so appreciate that. Yeah, even though Rosie did mention how the Republicans also didn't reach out to Obama, and weren't interested, I wish she had come back with how they all swore to make him a one termer. Huckster is such a fucking liar and disingenuous. And Nicolle needs to STFU. Color me STOOPID and a maroon that I didn't know until today that Michelle was part of Destiny's Child.

Morgalisa January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 She just had back surgery and came back a little too soon and on meds. Did she have back surgery? I thought she said the hospital staff gave her great information about how to avoid surgery. Bed exercises, I think she said. It kind of seemed unclear exactly why she was in the hospital and for how long. On Tuesday she seemed to not have a good grasp of what her problem was. I don't know if Dr. Besser was speaking of her problem specifically or his problem or just general problems. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/5/#findComment-750763

Yeah, I'm mystified at a hospital stay for any back treatment that did NOT involve surgery. As I said, I had a herniated disc repaired, with a metal plate put in and fused to my spine, and THAT was a 24 hour stay! I have good insurance. Usually anything that isn't surgery does not require hospitalization - and insurance companies don't cover a hospital stay for physical therapy and exercises. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/5/#findComment-750828
Cosmocrush January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 (edited) I just watched Whoopi's return show from Tuesday and am struck by her lack of emotional intelligence. She had an opportunity to educate the audience about her back problem in a compelling way, like explaining when she first felt her back pains and how she tried to deal with it. Instead, she thought invoking a southern accent and making unfunny jokes about her age would have us all in stitches. I didn't laugh once. A person in power needs to tell Whoopi that she doesn't need to be "on" for us to be entertained, just be authentic. I respect Whoopi as an actress but I've never liked her in this role. She skated by for so long because dolts like Elisabeth and Sherri made her look like Einstein in comparison. After six or seven years of watching Whoopi moderate this showI cannot imagine her ever trying to authentically use the platform to educate the audience about a back problem. Or anything else really unless it was prefaced with, "Here's how it is..." and involved shaking her finger at the audience. Add in that she couldn't really even speak (or didn't want to) to her own situation, for example not knowing the vertebrae were lettered and numbered as well as her penchant for misinformation (like oil companies pocketing the gas tax revenue!?) and I'd just as soon she didn't attempt to educate anyone.

TheGreenKnight January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 (edited) I didn't see Whoopi's return show, but I did see yesterday's. For heaven's sake, I realized how much I cannot stand her anymore. At least when Barbara had turned senile, there was some humor to the bitchiness (usually directed at Sherri, who absolutely earned it, imo). Whoopi just makes me wish someone would slap her. If I'm feeling that way, I'm not surprised the ratings are going down; nobody wants to feel that toxic over a talkshow. I believe I watched the first half of the season for glimmers of Rosie O amidst Whoopi's slowburning meltdown, but after several weeks where Rosie O actually spoke for more than 3 seconds at a time (and without Whoopi eye-rolling while she did so)--despite guest co-hosts I didn't care for--I've realized what the show could be, what I'd thought this season would be, and I can't stomach Whoopi anymore. Knowing she will be back makes me want to tune out until they finally fire her. I wasn't in the room when the show came on this morning, but I was so relieved when Rosie O was the one opening the show! My opinion has really turned on Nicolle, too. I was never a "fan," but at times I liked her. Mostly, the jury was out on her for me. But seeing how much she clearly enjoyed Whoopi being back so she could spin without being challenged--or Rosie O receiving the smackdown if she did speak--really pissed me off. She and Whoopi are giving some straight-up high school mean girl BS. And I can't stand how every topic about her revolves around politics. I will take her over other options, but I know now that I'm never going to be a fan and past done giving the benefit of the doubt. I don't remember much about Michelle Williams' previous days co-hosting, but she didn't bother me today. I just have a feeling she would become worse once cast. Everyone's on "good behavior" when auditioning... I did like Rosie O telling her not to be sexist during the football topic--clearly what she must've thought when Whoopi said the others didn't know what they were talking about yesterday, but was intimidated from saying. The other girl was filler--didn't make my ears bleed, but didn't really add anything either.

But this season, Whoopi seems to be deliberately trying to take over the show or wreck it or something. Worse than being terrible is that I can find very little snark material in Whoopi's performance this season.

Her behavior has sparked conversation that may bring producers to see her time is up. Not because she was on pain medication, that was a slip up with those around her who failed to see what was going on. Her absence sparked a lot of love for Rosie and put a spotlight on Whoppie's short comings as a moderator. .

NextIteration January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 My brother is having hip replacement surgery Tuesday and is expected to go home Wednesday. Not to rehab, home. But, I guess if you have money guidelines for regular folk don't apply. The spouse has had both replaced - and spent a good 4-5 days hospitalized for each of them even though he was told it would be a one or two day stay after the surgery. A lot of things have to fall perfectly into place to be released the next day, that said, my spouse reacts horribly to anesthesia and always gets fevers after having it. He's also had all manner of back and neck surgeries, treatments and on and on. Steroids make most people nasty and aggressive in my experience... especially if they are taken over the long haul.

CMH1981 January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 (edited) Why do I have a strange feeling that if/when Whoopi returns next week she will turn to us regular folk and let us know that she chose to take the rest of the week off due to a bad reaction to her pain meds, in other words she is going to take responsibility for what happened instead of what really happened, the executives had a talk and sent her ass home. Of course the whole world will fall for her damn act, then it will leak out that big, fat, lesbian Rosie went behind her back to send her home b/c she wants the moderator job all for herself.

CathinAZ January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 Today's show had me smiling...and laughing out loud when Mario did the Streisand talking about kale .... Four cohosts works best...Rosie O. Is great. Perhaps ABC forced Whoopi to get back to work to early ( maybe contractually, if she misses x number of days because of illness her pay is affected or it is easier for TPTB to cancel the contract or terminate her) and the fact that she was clearly on strong pain meds that affected her work on both days was not totally her fault - she wanted to be in compliance with the contract. She can' t be happy with her lack of controls d onscreen presence on her first 2 days back. There have got to be some delicate discussions going on behind the scenes between ABC, whoopi'a team and her medical providers! If Perez wasn't also "on leave" Whoopi may have been allowed a more reasonable recuperation period. When she comes back as moderator I wish she would take a page from Meredith Viera and not feel that being moderator means you need to talk the most. Meredith often asked questions that encouraged discussion between all cohosts and didn't, see her role as being front and center. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/5/#findComment-753793
Delighted January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 What I still don't understand is why there's been no mention of Whoopie's behavior in the media. I expected that there was a blackout because some news would be dropped this afternoon. Being Friday, it made sense. Some nugget about Whoopie's contract, etc. but absolutely no fallout from this week's appearance? Incredible. Had it been Rosie, there would have been a feeding frenzy. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/5/#findComment-753943
ChicagoCita January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 My takeaways from today's show: Nicolle needs to stop interrupting others who are speaking. It's very pleasant and non-tense without Whoopi lecturing to the panel and audience.

Some nugget about Whoopie's contract, etc. but absolutely no fallout from this week's appearance? Incredible. Had it been Rosie, there would have been a feeding frenzy. Another spin could be that the tabs consider RO a bigger story than Whoopi. Whoopi Goldberg high on The View and acting strange? Not really news, except Wednesday's show was higher on the scale than any other day, still not that surprising especially this year. Still, it's interesting that the "inside source" that was feeding the tabs all the crap about RO is so quiet this week, which kind of tells me it was generally coming from someone on Whoopi's payroll. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/5/#findComment-754228
CathinAZ January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 Cosmocrush, BINGO! Whatever "source" is constantly leaking negative Information about The View to the tabloids is being strangely silent about Whoopi appearing on TV while high on pain meds. Honestly, why isn't ABC allowing her time off to heal and get better? The source only stirs the pot when dropping negative (madeup) crap that involves Rosie O and sometimes Rosie P. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/5/#findComment-754261
kaygeeret January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 Stacy London is a non starter for me...in ancient history parlance, she is too "hot" for tv e.g. gestures too broad, laughs too loud, overreacts to comments. She needs a media coach. The show is simply better w/o Whoopi and it pains me to say that as I think she is a terrific talent and is much loved by many in the industry. RO is a whole new person and is perfect for the moderator role so far. I could even get behind Mario as a semi regular - couple of times a week and the standard fill in. What is bizarre to me is that TPTB knew from day 1 that RP would be gone. Unless Mario was the designated fill in they have done an outstanding job of bringing complete non entities into the co host fill in role. Just people that are not interesting and really haven't done much of interest in their lives. You don't need to be a celebrity, buy please have a life and an interesting one at that - or at least have varied interests which you are willing to discuss. Can no one in casting get anyone with a little star power and charisma? This was a completely known void lasting 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANd they failed as far as I can tell. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/5/#findComment-754296
maggiemae January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 (edited) I haven't been posting for a while......my laptop crashed and I was on a miniature tablet and I'm a keyboard/mouse kinda girl. But have a new laptop now. I remember earlier this week when Whoopi not only wagged, pointed and shook her finger at a co-host, and us, but she did it with both hands at the same time. I hope she doesn't return, along with RP. But not seeing any viable replacements from the guest co-hosts. And no BW! It is so perplexing the host's agents don't rein them in from the feed back....but maybe they are yes-people for their living. Let alone the producers and ABC....just from the feedback. They can still make sparks from being prepared......just stop the cross-talking and yelling. I'm all for gays, Republicans, mothers but please show, stop announcing it by all the hosts....we know you by now. Labels are not needed. And get away from the 12 year old kids jokes about "balls." As far as Nicole- "I get goosebumps" ETA - and please get better guests - other shows on ABC like GMA, Live, and The Chew manage to book them.
